Did a 3:18 the last two years, 60km, on both occasions, hope to be there and there about again this year.

 

I just hate hill starts tho, they stuff me up gloriously, takes me 15km to get my mojo going

oh, oops more pressure from me to me. Just make sure that seatpost is nice and warm to grab onto up that first everest climb Aaron

[Aaron_B]

We can take turns holding onto seat posts. Not looking forward to the first climb.

I also rode the 42km in 2012 at about 2:25ish, and last year the 60km was also my first longer race - much like your situation now.

 

I didn't go hard last year, rode within myself on all the climbs, and only pushed myself for the last say 10km. And if I remember correctly I rode about 3:40.

Thanks, can breathe a little better now. Look for the SMURFY on the Neon helmet. B455. Thats the last time you will see me before you snakes take off. :w00t: Looks like good weather. YR.NO predicts 25 degrees.

ek rol met 'n C die jaar. hoeveel groepe is daar in die 60?

5 groups

[eelvio]

Ahh cr*p so that means for my first MTB race a M start for 42km is not great at all.

 

Kind of like starting The Argus in the open groups and wanting to do under 4 hours.

[waveduke]

So - only one start group for the 75km?

I can't remember how it was last year - was there any kind of seeding?

Or first to load - first to start?

[Pure Savage]

 

Thanks for this, I thought the race was on Sunday

 

Same!!

I started stone last in knysna as I was sitting in car keeping warm before start and came in 25th. So it can be done. Just a lot of hurt on the hills. Think was 2:10 with a 3min break to reattach cleats to shoes. So can be done. Big groups help more on road events.
